Neighbours' Dog

[Namechange749]

We have new neighbours at the back of our house, so our house looks out onto their back garden and vice versa.
They seem to leave their dog out in the garden every day. Not sure if it's all day as garden isn't all visible but he's out there a fair bit, howling and trying to get in for hours at a time. They've left him out there today in torrential rain and awful winds, and he's running about, crying and looking frightened. I don't know what to do. I've heard the RSPCA won't do anything in situations like this but leaving him outside in this weather seems cruel. Any ideas? We don't know them as houses are on different roads and they're very new.

What type of dog is it?

Have you been to speak to them? They might leave him with a dog flap and have no idea he’s out there like that

The RSPCA should do something if there is no shelter available.

I would go and knock and tell them, act like you know they don't know he's distressed.

A staffie type, I think.

There's definitely no dog flap. He tries to get in by putting his paw on the handle of the French windows.

Please ring the RSPCA for advice- no dog should be shut outside for hours let alone in this weather. Poor thing

Oh god love him.
How are you with dogs? If they are not in, I’d take a fence panel out and get him in. He must be terrified, some animals have been really hurt in this.

I’d go and speak to them then. How unfair of them

Surely it is cruelty if there is no shelter, water etc… plus staffies are short haired and the poor dog will be cold…. Good that you have noticed, I’d put a call in to RSPCA.

Yes, I presume they just leave him there when they're out at work. I just didn't think they'd do it with this weather.

Thank you for the responses.

poor creature, I really just don't get this behaviour, I'm not that keen on dogs and would'nt really describe myself as 'an animal lover' full stop but I can never get my head round how pet owners can be so cruel. I think its scary outside right now and I know whats causing it, this poor dog must be terrified.

I would call the RSPCA.

Can you get him? What utter Cunts
.
Bet if you rang the police about a suspected intruder they would come out but not for the life of an actual living animal.
Ring rspca. Report. Knock on door and tell them the ddog is distressed. Poor thing.

Rspca, dog warden and police that's animal cruelty.
Evil bastards.

I think the RSPCA says a dog needs food water and shelter.
They will act if one of those is missing.

This dog has no shelter

Print off and put it through their door.

I can't get him, no. There's a high fence (and a wall) between us. Also don't know how he'd be with my dog.

Thing is, I can't tell if he has a kennel or other shelter as it could be behind the fence. I just know he wasn't using it earlier in the rain, and that he was distressed.

I was thinking of writing a letter, Easterbunny.
He seems to be inside now thankfully. Can't see him anyway.

Heartbreaking

Ah clipped ears, says it all really.

Ugh, looks like his ears have been cut, poor thing.

What despicable people.

Poor dog. His ears definitely look clipped which I thought was illegal in this country 😳 Bastards.

Doesn’t it just. These kind of arseholes aren’t dog lovers.

Yup had the same thought.

Poor thing, hope you manage to find something to help him.
